...CYCLE (TRAGIC) COURTING...

..."If the rice is silenced, it must be stale. For you, it is not rice. At least you won't be porridge."...

...•••...

Aul had prepared his cooking since three o'clock in the morning, it turned out that being a woman was indeed a weight of his ordeal. Aul was salute with his mother who was able to cook with deft and efficient time, ah ... Aul promises to take a cooking class with Aura later. The fragrant spices that Aul made one to make this chicken, it turns out that it is difficult easy.

After the fried chicken that has been patched and sambaled on it, and put in a red lunch box, Aul's smile never fade instantly.

"May she like it!" pekiknya happy.

While humming ria, Aul prepared himself to immediately get ready for school. After feeling the luggage of his school Aul has stored neatly on the backpack - along with the cuisine made earlier - Aul pecked himself in front of the mirror.

"Duh, that's so pretty. Good thing not to be buto ijo!" he said while grimacing softly, he saw the neckline that was visible because he tied his hair with a green cloth, not to forget also, the colored bandana Aul added as a sweetener on his face.

When it was finished, Aul approached Mahesa's house. Previously, he had told Mahesa to leave early for school.

"GODOOO!" his yell.

Looks aunt Rara with clothes negligent mother-mother, appeared behind the door. "Here first, Aul. Duh ... Esa is still sleeping, you wake up first."

The titan of Aunt Rara was only reciprocated by the geeky smile of Aul. Though originally, Aul was already growling because he held back his anger at Mahesa who unlucky to be his best friend!

Upon arrival in front of Mahesa's room, Aul, still overwhelmed by violence, flinch. He was glued to the door of Mahesa's room which was still closed, but his ears could hear clearly, Mahesa's voice strumming the strings of a guitar accompanied by a baritone that made Aul pensive.

I want you with him, though,

As long as you are .. happy ...

Only a piece of the lyrics of the song can Aul hear. His eyes blinked comically as Mahesa was already standing looming in front of him.

"Heh, why did Bocil come here? Your nyasar?"

The rancid voice returned Aul from his daydream. Aul knew, Mahesa was not the type of person who was upset because of feelings, moreover, the man looked uninterested in the world of purity. But, what Aul heard earlier - even briefly - but Aul was sure, Mahesa's voice sounded so bitter as she sang it. It was as if Mahesa was singing to dispel her nervousness.

Mahesa who Aul knows as well, is not a typical person who likes to boast about his skills in music, singing or playing musical instruments such as guitar. Even Mahesa who people know, seems to have no intelligence in terms of music at all. That was because, Mahesa had purposely covered it up.

"Why?" ask Aul.

He ignored the strange gaze of Mahesa. Even Aul had a chance to see the surprised expression of Mahesa.

"Lo why?" reset Aul. This time with a serious face that looks at Mahesa who is neat with her school uniform.

Mahesa smiled wryly, she ruffled Aul's hair - but, not to the point of making Aul's hairdo fall apart - before finally saying, "Lo doesn't need to know."

Aul pursed his lips as Mahesa left speechless in front of the room of the man who had moved towards the dining room of the Wiradinata family.

Initially, Aul did intend to have breakfast at school and leave early, because there was a task that Aul actually forgot to do. Dehumanised. But, at the insistence of Aunt Rara, Aul finally relented as well. He had breakfast with the Wiradinata family, it just so happened that there was an om Wira who turned out that Aul had not met for a long time, was looking friendly at him.

"Morning, Om," said Aul awkwardly.

Om Wira chuckled softly, perhaps very clearly Aul's face reddened with embarrassment.

"How are you, Aul? Your parents?" greet Wira with a friendly.

Aul kicked the leg of Mahesa who was sitting next to him. Made Mahesa look confused at him. Aul snorted stifled. He smiled back at Wira who was busy with his breakfast.

"Hum .. good, Om. If it's Om himself?"

"As you can see, Aul."

The words of om Wira became a cover for his breakfast. After Aul and Mahesa had crucified Mahesa's parents, Aul was able to freely channel his anger which he had held onto Mahesa.

"God! How the hell are you! I said get up early, ehhh!!" Aul was still nagging with a loud voice. Mahesa was grateful in her heart, because the helmet she used could soak Aul's voice.

"Huaaa, not to mention the word Om Wira that makes my heart jumpalitan .. lo do not want to help answer!" whinek Aul is back.

Because there was no response at all from Mahesa, Aul chose silence. Just look, Aul is going on strike to talk to Mahesa! And sure enough, when Aul had reached the gate of SMK Bratajaya, he got off the motor Mahesa without saying a word.

Mahesa chuckled, looking at Aul's back away. "Barbarians are girls!"

•••

Aul chose to step foot into the building of electrical engineering department which is beside the broadcast building. Hold him on to the provisions he has prepared, Aul pererat. With steady steps, he smiled as he looked at the object he was referring to being in the classroom corridor.

Nando became the man who approached him because he had just returned from the administrative office.

Aul stuck out his tongue at Nando, mocking the man beside him who was curious about what Aul was carrying. "Yee, kepo!"

Nando is indeed familiar with Aul, so when the man embraces Aul's shoulder like a friend - which even looks like a brother and sister - because of the difference in their height.

"Nothing for me?"

Aul even blicked his lips. "Choose, mini mi. i iki biitin li!"

"True by the way!"

"Bodoamate!"

Aul broke away from Nando's embrace and ran a little towards Riziq.

"THE RIZ!!" his screeches.

Instead of stopping, Aul felt that Riziq was speeding up. It took quite a long time for Aul to balance his steps with Riziq. He immediately grabbed Riziq's arm, making the man shocked. He finally turned to Aul who had given him a smile in the morning.

"Pagi~" greeted Aul cheerfully.

Riziq just looked at him flatly. "What?"

Aul swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. Riziq looked different and it was not only visible from his attitude, but also from the direction of his eyes on Aul who was glaring sharply.

"Hm .. This, I made breakfast." Aul gave his red box to Riziq. But even in the fifth minute, Riziq did not accept it. Just staring blankly at Aul's sad netra.

"Necessary" he said briefly.

"But-"

"Morning, Iyaaang!" Another voice instructed Aul to turn to the source of the voice.

Gaila, with all her distinctive looks. Walk towards Riziq and flank one of Riziq's hands. In fact, Riziq did not look uncomfortable at all with the physical touch that Gaila gave. They forgot his presence for a moment. Gaila made her look like a parasite.

"Duh, there's Aul, huh? Sori, it wasn't visible." Gaila did apologize to him, but what Aul saw was a mocking ripple.

Aul was still digesting this incident well, he could only murmur inwardly while witnessing the stifling sight of his heart.

"Now, I made provisions for you. S-p-e-s-i-a-l anyway!" exclaim Gaila with spirit. He gave to Riziq a stock whose size is not much different from the stock that Aul previously offered.

Aul's eyes widened when he saw Riziq who received the supply box given by Gaila. "Thank's."

Although Riziq still looks flat when receiving a supply box from Gaila, still, the box is rejected! Aul dongkol in heart. Even crying can't feel. Until finally Aul chose to look at the back of Riziq and Gaila who moved away from him with a nanar view.

"So that means 'no need', you just want to receive food from Gaila, so?" lirih Aul's. He looked at his food box in disappointment. It seems his efforts seemed futile.

Suddenly, a hand that was larger than his hand, took over his lunchbox. Aul was aghast as he looked at the person standing casually in front of him. He even seemed to ignore the probing gaze of SMK Bratajaya's student on him.

"Don't think. Doi brain again gesrek, later when the day I really deh," he said that increasingly makes Aul panic, because he understood the purpose of the satire.

"Duh, Esa .. It's okay. What are you doing here too?!"

Mahesa spread her shoulders, she did not care about the curious gazes from around her. His attenuation was completely diverted to Aul who looked distraught from being too panicked.

"Duh how the hell ...," murmured Aul.

When Aul was agitated because Mahesa was relaxed - when his clothes were very striking - different from those of SMK Bratajaya students, standing calmly in front of him. The man handed her a box of green tea.

"Drink first, forget the incident earlier. I brought it, thank's yes." Mahesa commented a thin smile while brandishing her box of supplies. "Sori, I think the provision is not for me, it turns out windfall is not where? Haha. Bye, Aul!"

Aul blinked a few times. His eyes looked in wonder at Mahesa who had suddenly left while carrying her food supply box.

"Well, what or what? Come to the enemy's place, not afraid of what consequences?" muttered Nando that Aul had not expected to be next to him again.

"You mean?" ask Aul curiously.

"Well, don't you know that too? There's an implied agreement that between the Basupati gang and the Devil's gang it can't enter the enemy's school, unless there's an urgent matter regarding the school."

Aul took it seriously. But his heart did not calm down after listening to the explanation from Nando. "On the school race, in addition .. most likely if there are those who violate, you know, what they often do."

Aul's heart is beating faster, his feelings of concern for Mahesa who seemed to be experiencing injury to the ribs, due to his karate match last week.

Without heeding the warning call from Nando, Aul turned his heels to run after Mahesa. Many disciples were staring at him, but Aul ignored them. At the very least, he had to make sure that Mahesa was fine.

"GODOOO!"

Aul's shout turned out to not only make Mahesa who had just been near the administrative office, turn to him. But the man who was standing on foot near the ceremonial field, frowning confusedly stared at Aul from a distance
